Jane Austen’s First Law of Blogging

Comical Jane

Standard

There has been a flurry in the past week or so of Jane Austen showing up in illustrations and comics and other comicy-type things.

Alert Janeite Dennard noticed a panel in Maira Kalman’s illustrated blog post in the New York Times, called “May It Please the Court,” that mentioned Jane Austen.

Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal gives us The Perfect Man. We would prefer he read the books to us, but we still had a laugh from it. Thanks to new AustenBlog Gentle Reader and Alert Janeite Emily K for the link.
